To celebrate Pride Month, join Pie Bird Pies and Wander Women Midwest for a very special Pride Pike! Celebrate the start of Pride Month during this extra special, extra queer Pike extravaganza! We’ll gather at Water Works Park, and then chow down on some delicious treats and lemonade from Pie Bird Pies. All profits from registrations will be donated to the Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund.
This event is open to all queer folks and allies. This is a great event for meeting new friends, gathering with old pals and celebrating queerness in Des Moines!
Registration includes a guided interpretive nature walk with Wander Women (we'll be walking ~2 miles through Water Works Park and Gray's Lake Park), and a choice of hand pie flavor (strawberry rhubarb, cherry vanilla bean, or brown sugar cinnamon) and mixed berry lavender lemonade from Pie Bird Pies. We'll be gathering at the Des Moines Biergarten at Water Works Park before and after the hike for beautiful spring nature vibes. GF and/or vegan options are available, please indicate on your registration if you need that!
Not able to attend the event but still want to donate to the Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund? We have a non-attending ticket option as well, which serves as a direct donation to ITMAF.
And in case you need a brief bio: Pie Bird Pies is a home-based Des Moines bakery offering seasonal fruit pie made with as many local ingredients as possible. We are proudly queer and women-owned.
